Rice lab peers inside 2D crystal synthesis

“Simulations could help molecular engineers enhance creation of semiconducting nanomaterials Scientific studies describing the most basic processes often have the greatest impact in the long run. A new work by Rice University engineers could be one such, and it’s …

Mixing solutions in the world’s smallest test tubes

“Researchers based at The University of Manchester have demonstrated a new method for imaging live chemical reactions with atomic resolution using nanoscale test tubes created using two-dimensional (2D) materials. The ability to observe solution-based chemical reactions with sub-nanometre resolution in …

New generation of supercapacitors set to electrify green transportation

“Scientists have created a new generation of low-cost, high-energy supercapacitors to power electric vehicles. Researchers from Imperial College London and University College London (UCL) have produced a cheaper, more sustainable and energy-dense electrode material for supercapacitors which could pave the …

New light on making two-dimensional polymers

“An international research team with members from Linköping University, the Deutsches Museum and the Technical University of Munich, among others, has developed a method to manufacture two-dimensional polymers with the thickness of a single molecule. The polymers are formed on …

Ultra-high-density hard drives made with graphene store ten times more data

“Graphene can be used for ultra-high density hard disk drives (HDD), with up to a tenfold jump compared to current technologies, researchers at the Cambridge Graphene Centre have shown. The study, published in Nature Communications, was carried out in collaboration …

New Method To Improve Durability Of Nano-Electronic Components To Help Further Semiconductor Manufacturing And Resilience

“USF Mechanical Engineering assistant professor Michael Cai Wang’s group recently developed a novel approach to effectively mitigate electromigration, a phenomenon that has long posed challenges for the semiconductor and integrated circuits industry. USF Mechanical Engineering assistant professor Michael Cai …

Engineering matter at the atomic level

“As devices continue to be built on an increasingly small scale, scientists are looking toward developing ways to engineer materials at the atomic level. In a breakthrough that will contribute to this, published in Nature Communications, researchers from the RIKEN …

A new form of carbon

“Not graphene: researchers in Germany and Finland discover new type of atomically thin carbon material Carbon exists in various forms. In addition to diamond and graphite, there are recently discovered forms with astonishing properties. For example graphene, with a thickness …

Graphene enables ten times higher data storage in computer memories
